She heard a knock at the door, glancing at her clock she saw it was 7.03. She checked herself once again in the mirror. Her hair was down and she was wearing a nice top and jeans, her make up freshly on her face.

She opened the door, and there he was. A smile crossed her face.

"Hey" he said, his eyes fixed on hers. Hers sparkling as she smiled.

"Hey' she said back.

"Oh I bought food' he said holding up the bags at his side.

"Great" said Lorelai, ushering him into the house.

"Where do you want them" Luke asked slightly nervous.

"Ah on the coffee table would be great" said Lorelai, following him over.

He put down the bags and turned to face her. He was about to speak, but she cut across first.

"Luke. First of all I just wanted to say thank-you, for last night"

"Oh no problem" said Luke modestly, waving her off

"No really" said Lorelai stepping forwards, placing her hand lightly on his arm. He looked down at her hand then back up into her eyes. Her blue eyes shone sincere to her words.

"Lorelai…" his words failing him, he looked down to the ground

"What Luke?" she said, concern in her voice.

He wanted to tell her so much that he thought she was amazing. As a person, and for brining up Rory all by herself. That she was beautiful and wonderful, and her visits to the Diner made his day. And for all she does she's allowed to breakdown every once in a while. He looked into her eyes, and the words caught in his throat. Instead he pulled her into a tight hug. Her head resting on his chest, his arms holding her tight.

"Your welcome" he said softly.

After a little while they pulled apart deciding they should probably start watching the movie, and eating the food.

"So what movie are we watching?" asked Luke sinking into the couch.

"Well I'm in a total chick flick mood, I'm sorry" she said, a broad smile upon her face

"So tonight you have the choice of three wonderful chick flicks. First we have 'Sleepless in Seattle' the story of two people, on other sides of the country, she falls in love with him after his son calls up a radio station, so sweet. A Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks film." She said holding it up.

"Second we have classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' the hunky guy next door, falls for the party girl, and of corse you cant forget the cat' she smiled cheekily, holding up that movie.

" And last but defiantly not least, a more modern tale but still a good movie 'How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days'. The journalist who has to write a story on how to loose a guy in 10 days – hence the name, but there's a twist, as there always is' holding up her third choice.

"So what I'll it be Diner boy" she said, bitting her bottom lip.

"Um.." Luke had never really heard of any of them

" You can choose, I don't mind" he said

"Oh come on Luke. Just pick one" she said pouting slightly

"Um that one about breakfast I guess"

"Oooh Breakfast at Tiffany's it is" she put the tape in and sat down on the couch next to him. He handed her a burger and fries, while he himself started to eat what looked like salad. Lorelai wrinkled her nose at the salad, and bit into her burger. The movie started, Audrey Hepburn as Holy Golightly graced the screen. Standing outside Tiffany's with her coffee and croissant, or was it a bagel, I could never remember.

'Cat, cat oh where are you cat!' Holy called as she hurried down the alleyway in the rain.

Somewhere in the middle of the movie Luke's arm had moved to the back of the couch, and Lorelai had leaned in to him, resting her head on him. It felt comfortable and right, and safe, and surprisingly not awkward.

Lorelai wanted to tell him, tell him that…she had feelings for him. That she liked him… in the clichéd words…as more than friends'

And they kissed.

Paul and Holy kissed, on screen. The music of 'Moon River' playing, as they kissed perfectly in the rain, the cat safely between them.

The credits rolled in and Lorelai took the remote and turned the TV off. Sitting up a little and facing Luke. She studied his face, trying to figure out what he was thinking, what he was feeling. He looked at her, and she quickly looked away, embarrassed to be caught looking at him like that, and in such close proximity to each other. But Luke didn't want to loose her gaze, he wanted to know what that look meant. He reached out and pulled her face back round to look at him. Looking at him, her hand took on a life of its own and reached up to touch his face. Her hands grazing over the light stubble on his chin, her fingers finally resting at the edge of his lips. Her heart finally over came her head, as she bridged the gab between them and pressed her lips on his.

At last! Luke's thoughts yelled in joy in his head. His hand reached up to cup her face, deepening the kiss.

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last…

At last – Ella Fitzgerald

If any song should have been playing at that moment, it was that one. Their kissing becoming deeper and more passionate with every second passed. They had found what they wanted and were going straight for it, they had found each other. Luke had found a girl who would make him laugh yet still love him for being him. Lorelai had found her prince charming, the one who would always be there, and love her every little quirk and charm. At Last…

As the imaginary song stoped playing in the background they pulled apart looking at each other, for any signs of regret or disgust. But they both found smiles on each other's faces. It was like without words they both knew that wanted this, and they knew it felt more right than anything,
